WORK EXPERIENCE
My employment prior to July 2003 involved a strong focus on employee wellness programs, managing worker’s compensation and disability cases, and establishing benefits programs in addition to the usual Human Resources Manager functions of hiring, firing, discipline, evaluation, training, compensation planning and budgeting, and policy creation and interpretation. I chose to leave the field of HR Management in 2003 to pursue a new career in massage therapy.
